[update 10/18/2015] shigexile's Preface SS-Four Options

[Shigexile]

First i wanna say thank you to Martin (Malpaso) for his support. I had plans of doing this before but never had the funding and a problem with the seller in UK for a long time. And then Martin completed his SS-Four bumper and by looking at his pictures, it solved all the probems i initially had. Thank you Martin, you the man!

So i finally got the bumper from UK after many complaining and off i go to the body shop where i used to work during the summer






I got paint and body stuff for a cheap price since i was their best prep guy they had

For some reason, the grill didn't lineup perfectly... but not noticeable

The things i still need to do (exterior wise):
1. Paint the bumper "teeth" back to black
2. Paint my UK splitters silver
3. Exchange the high beams seal because i "accidentally" painted over them
4. Put the rear ss-III splitters on after paint
5. Getting my rims in about a month or so (and tires)









Do you think i should paint the bumper "teeth" back to black? I'm kinda getting used to it being painted...

C&C welcomed

love the car, gives me shivers

Haven't posted in months but the celica is at the hospital for the first time in 8 yrs of owning it.
It finally breaks something that I can't fix in the parking lot and this winter is not helping.
Such a bad time to break but it did well for the 8 yrs owning it.

Looking back at 2011, there are still numerous things i need to fix:
1. My carbon fiber wrap attempt was a FAIL. Need to re wrap it.
2. Ducktail spoiler won't stick to the hatch anymore. Thinking about just molding it on there but I still have the EURO spoiler block. Can't decide which one.
3. The fog light's wires caught on fire. Need to re wire it with thicker wires.
4. Still can't fix my horn. Just might buy an aftermarket one.
5. Not 6gc related but my 2002 GTS was totaled. Having a hard time finding a white exterior/black interior IS250 6spd in this area.

Hope 2012 gets better from here on out.

You need this horn

[Shigexile]

^ I'll take that into consideration

The silver '02 that was at the meet is totaled? That sucks. What happened? Hopefully nobody was hurt. What's wrong with the 6th gen?

[Shigexile]

My girl was driving across a street with no traffic lights, then a car came and hit the front passenger side causing her to spin around the way she came from.
Luckily she is safe, but the other driver had some neck injury. Her fault since she didn't yield but the guy was speeding. Also he never showed up in court so the ticket was lifted.

That 7th gen have seen two major accidents in the 1.5 years owning it. Its probably possessed. Time to move on.

As for the 204, its electric issues. The alt is done for, and most likely a short somewhere. Fixing the alt is easy but its the grounding issue that is too much work to find (especially with my work schedule)


BTW, I'm thinking about taking some winter pictures of my car in downtown soon so if anyone in the area is interested in a photoshoot tell me.

Keep the ducktail - I've got a buyer for your EURO riser blocks.

... i'm lost

about lip... my personal option to go would be this:



IMO this is great design combination!

What lip is this and where can I get it?

What's that bumper?

[malpaso]

What's that bumper?

...prefacelifted SS-Four

[Syaoran]

Is it just a GT-4 bumper grille cut and plastic welded onto a GT bumper?

Correct

[Shigexile]

I love my Bride BrixII and all but I always wanted the stock Recaro SR3 ever since I first saw my neighbor's Gt-Four in Japan.

So I've been browsing ebay even after I got the Bride and FINALLY I scored these:


And before anyone asks: No, I will not be selling my Bride seats.... I plan on keeping it as my office chair or connect it to my Logitech



How awesome is that


Hopefully these will arrive before the Midwest Meet.
